Sam Reinhart said he gave it all he had in Buffalo. Added that he was committed to the Sabres and was open to signing long term. “For whatever reason, my contract situation has led to this point.”

Now? Or before?

Big difference. Gotta read between the lines here. It's all in how you word things.

They do realize they are allowed to pick d men outside of the top pick this year, right? And maybe a goalie. But they did just get one in a trade.

I figured.

Well take it for what it's worth, but I was told the Sabres had 3 contract offers on the table for Sam a 4yr 5yr and 7yr. Doesn't really matter know

Its passive aggressive. Tiny man saving face w the fan base. Another way of saying what Soupy said... dont boo me when I come back to town....

We are in good shape with goalie prospects
UPL in Rochester
Portillo at Michigan
Levi at Northeastern

Pretty much

There you have it. Reinhart was willing to stay, the Sabres didn't have interest. Goes against what we have heard about the Sabres wanting him to stay.
- TheSabresTaco

Who cares?
He’s gone now. Wish the return was a bit better,
but it is what it is.
Adams needs to get a good deal for Jack,
and let the 2year tank begin

Go Sabres!

It's a lie trust me

There you have it, back to the true narrative

You all won't be surprised to find I hate the Reinhart trade... Listening to his comments, sounds like he wanted to sign here long term last couple of years but the moronic GM's of Buffalo's past (frank)ed that up.

In the end, we traded a perennial 20 goal scorer who was 11th in goals last year, who we tanked for and who was finally becoming elite as a center in Donny's system

For....

A 19 year old goalie who is barely 6ft tall, has played for some team called the Carleton Place Canadians... He did play well in the world juniors, a lot of players have done so and sucked. Goalie is such a crap shoot.. If you're going to trade for a goalie prospect, get one that has a little more seasoning under his belt. Not one who is going to Northeastern state...

Reinhart should require a teams 3rd or 4th best prospect. I get he was an RFA, but it sounds like he's eager for a fresh start and will sign a longer deal... If this was the best Adams could get, he should have convinced Reinhart to stay and tried to flip him at the deadline. I get it's a risky move but this trade is a joke...

At BEST we may see returns from this trade by 2025, that's at best. That will make the Sabres post season drought 14 years long! In a league where half the (frank)ing conference makes the playoffs every year.

I'm expecting Eichel to the Rangers for a 1st, their 4th best prospect and a mid-tier 25 year old player

A big factor not mentioned is Reinhart has no 100% defined cap hit for next season, as it's an educated guess.

That means the team trading for him is planning for an undefined impact on the team's cap.

I'm guessing if Reinhart had a defined cap for this coming season, it may have made a difference in the return, and especially if the Sabres retained 50%, if it was a one year deal.

Very good point.
Didnt consider the future cap situation.

I was kinda equating both as basically ufas. If sam indeed isnt interested in signing an extension.

I wish I could share our enthusiasm... I'm at the breaking point.. I'm expecting a terrible Eichel return and for everyone on Twitter and here to talk it up big like the Reinhart and O'Reilly trades before them.. I'll be sitting here shaking my head how we could lose such good players for nothing.

Cool rant
Enjoy wallowing in your own misery dude

Unfortunately,
it’s time to move on from Jack & Sam

We’ll try again with a new rebuild
Best to accept it

I care, because I want this organization to stop (frank)ing around with their top players.

Not something we have control over
And nothing can be done now about Sam
I liked him as a player
But he’s gone now- and that’s ok

Sam Reinhart on if he asked the Sabres for a trade: "What goes on behind closed doors is behind closed doors for a reason. There was a lot of honest discussions at the end of the year with me and I'm sure a number of players."

Would have been easier to say "no", so any other answer is "yes"

Now? Or before?

Big difference. Gotta read between the lines here. It's all in how you word things.
- Powerslave

That's what I'm thinking.

Couple years ago when skimmer crashed in, I'm sure it was very interesting to sign long term.

After being pushed off year to year... maybe not

Enjoy following this team in a hamster wheel round and round as they find new ways to set the franchise back every year. In two years it will be Middelstat then another 2 years Cozens and probably Power after that.
